All time favorite controller. Bar none.

The leather flaps that hang off a cuirass (which are usually thinner than these, but also more numerous) would often be reinforced with some kind of metal and/or heavily studded. The idea was that the straps could move individually and offer a wide range of motion, while still serving as a means of shielding. They…

Also, the OP is posting what amounts to the top half of medieval armor (that looks like she'd have trouble lifting her arms in) and leather pants and boots. This looks like it would actually leave her LESS protected than what I described, especially from the waist down. It also loses any connection with her backstory…

Yes.

If it's authentic to actual Greek armor, which it is, then why would it be fetishized? Actual Greek armor consisted of these items and not much (if anything) else. That's not fetish, that's consistent with the origin of the character.

Mine too. I've used HeroMachine for ages for DnD characters, and back before City of Heroes came out I used it to get an idea of what I wanted characters to look like.

No problem. :)

Yeah, I'd seen that. It's actually something I would be happy to see on-screen. I didn't know about the hide bit, though.

The comics portray the Amazons as a classical civilization that holds to the architecture and dress of the Greeks and/or Romans. They also live on an Osland that is named for an actual Greek town, albeit on that is quite far east in the empire.

Because those costumes are congruent with the origin and myths surrounding the character. Superman's costume can change because he comes from a planet that the writers can change as often as they want. Batman can be update to incorporate not-quite-real-but-close tech, because he's supposed to be a gadgeteer,…

Heromachine?

In every comic iteration currently, the Amazons live on an island where they practice a classical life style that us reminiscent of classical cultures. So, if we aren't doing classical (Greek) armor, we should drop armor entirely and go with Kevlar or something equivalent.

Themiscyra was an actual historical Greek town. An actual group of female warriors from there were discussed by Herodotus. Of course, legendary Amazons were said to have come from Turkey. In the comics, Themiscyra Island is often shown to have taken most of its architecture from Roman and Greek styles, and Diana,…

You're entitled to your opinion, just as I am to mine. These are far more consistent with Greek armor and hold to the some of the hallmarks of the traditional Wonder Woman uniform.

I'd agree on the leg work. The fighting style she seems to employ in the comics would benefit from strong legs, and considering the Greeks were known for the swiftness of their combat, it would stand to reason that she'd need some leg muscle to keep moving.

Brass and bronze were the most common metals for Greek armor, but I'd be inclined to think that she wore some kind of special metal that might be available only to the Amazons.

Yes, there are more "mature" women, however, aside from Kingdom Come, we aren't ever shown a Wonder Woman who has aged. Of course, many heroes don't age in continuity, but many are shown aged in time travel type settings (including Superman).

No. Please no. It's not awful, but if she's going to wear armor, let it be fashioned after the Greeks. Something like a blend between the left and the right.

It was a pretty great reveal, and Unbreakable got me, too.

I hated Tasha Yar. And this made me vomit, too.
